idiots in love

~17~

3:28 am; Tweek was never one to need more than 5 hours of sleep. Although he was already in bed by midnight, his fingers stayed jittery and he was still wide awake even after 3 hours passed. It was Friday; his confrontation with Craig was bound to occur in the afternoon. Looking through the dark, he can still spot the box he drew planets and stars on that was filled with some of Craig's favorite stuff he guessed he'd like. Space stickers and pins, chocolate chip muffins (since every year for his birthday, he asked for one), Red Racer's cherry colored car but as a toy (thrifted from a gift shop for a cheap price), lollipops that came with a note informing him to use this as an alternative for cigarettes, and cheesy enough, one of the only decent pictures he had with Tucker framed (Craig has several framed photos of his friends including Tweek but the twitchy blonde despised the one he kept up and wanted to replace it). Somehow listing off what was in that box made Tweek doze off and dream of what awaits him in a few hours.

5:45 am; suddenly woken up by a glass being shattered by his clumsy dad, Butters woke up nearly an hour earlier than he's supposed to. His body refused anymore sleep yet was too lazy to start the day. So Stotch laid there, dawn rising through his windows curtains, watching his ceiling as if he was waiting for it to fall on him. For today wasn't going to be an ordinary day and he wished today didn't come at all. Kenny was leaving for a month but it didn't stop the bright blonde from feeling lonely. He'd miss him for sure. He'd miss him a whole lot. So he had to hug that idiot McCormick before he left. 8:10 was his flight and Butters planned on seeing him off at the airport. Ditching school was for emergencies and this definitely counted as one.

6:30 am; Dressed up in his lime trapper hat, a dark orange shirt underneath a denim jacket, and black jeans with coal-colored gazelle adidas shoes, Kyle sat on the living room couch, giving himself 10 minutes before walking to their school's bus stop. In those 10 minutes, he asked himself what made him sleep so well despite the news he received yesterday. Anger and worry was all he felt yet he slept like a baby. Unfortunately, he couldn't give himself an answer. What also plagued his mind is why Stan, his best friend of years, didn't tell him yesterday about his get together with the one person he ever liked. Back when they were 9, all Stan could talk about was Testaburger's outfits, hair, eyes, voice, etc. Shit, Stan was the only one who told Kyle he was gonna shoot his shot and the next day they were the talk of the town. Marsh never held back any information for Kyle, the dude even mentioned the cute shit they'd do. At that time, Kyle's crush on his best friend already formed. So why? Why did Stan not mention liking her again? It's just unusual behavior, not part of their regular routine. Kyle convinced himself it was because they were older, soon becoming adults in a year. They'll be grown up and it'll be seen as childish to continue informing others on every little detail. But Kyle was okay with that. As long as it's Stan who's talking. 6:40 am; Broflovski got to his feet, backpack on shoulders, throwing the door open to start the day. The day of hearing rumors going around about the power couple being at it again, the day of questioning, the day of realizing it was always gonna be unrequited love, the day his feelings will fade as time goes on, today's that day.

"Stan!" His name snapped him from his world online. He looked up to see Token tilt his head to come along.
